"Today's lesson with the student went well. He just started college algebra, so this is where everything I taught him is coming to work. Today we went over the things he learned in class. For example, we covered fractions, mixed fractions, and improper fractions. His homework dealt with these kind of problems. Overall, the lesson went well. He was able to learn things and apply them quickly. "

"The student had his Chapter 9 test this past Friday. He scored a 12.5/13 or 96% on the test, which is an A! He seemed quietly pleased with himself. We've now moved on to Chapter 10 which begins with polynomials. We spent a few minutes going over vocabulary words, such as monomial, polynomial, terms, order, etc. He had a worksheet that had him identify the order of a given polynomial and rearrange terms into descending order (i.e.. x^3 + x^2 + x + 1). He already seemed to understand this without having had much class time on the subject. There was an extra credit assignment that was given to them that was worth a full homework grade. We spent the remainder of our time working through this. It was a series of questions, 40 in total, in which he had to subtract like terms from two polynomials (i.e. (4x^6+5)-(-3x^6-4)). He was fully capable of doing these questions on his own. The other issue he seemed to have was reading each problem carefully, which seemed to be difficult because the questions were typed on the page close together. So if I covered up the questions that we weren't currently on, he was much better at not making errors with signs or something similar."

"In today's session, the student and I reviewed many different concepts from AP Calculus AB in order for me to assess her strengths and weaknesses in the subject matter. These topics included discussions of limits, derivatives, integrals, and real-valued functions. The emphasis was primarily on underlying themes and the thinking behind them. We also discussed some of the more recent topics that have been covered in her AP Calculus BC course. I presented the formal definition of a sequence, contrasted sequences to the standard continuous functions that she's accustomed to using, and introduced the domination method as it relates to sequential limits. In addition to the topics that we covered, I left the student with a practice exam, as well as some Pre-Calculus review material. Overall, I think the session was very productive, and it set forth the expectations that the student must meet in order for her to progress successfully in the course. "

"Today the student worked on some questions from sample state assessment exams that were based on concepts we covered in previous sessions. He did very well on all of them, even a difficult quadratic problem that required him to differentiate between a "real life" situation and the theory-based graphs he has worked with in the past. During the second half of the session we covered systems of linear inequalities in detail. He initially had difficulty with the test point concept and graphing strict vs. non-strict inequalities, but by the end of the session he had a satisfactory grasp of the material. "

"The student and I went over a brief introduction to the test, then got through the math introductory chapter and most of the arithmetic (numeric operations) chapter in the review book. She wants to score in the upper 150's, or in the 70th percentile."

"We practiced simplifying rational expressions as well as adding and subtracting rational expressions. We also reviewed static electricity. We went through the different equations for electrostatics on the equation sheet and made sure to talk about what each variable represented and its SI unit. Lastly, we compared Coulomb's law of the force on an electric charge to Newton's law of gravitation. The student is doing well working with rational expressions and using factoring to simplify."

"The student completed his homework assignment focused on adding and subtracting rational expressions. I stressed the strategy of writing larger and leaving more space between computations, because as the math problems get more involved there is a direct correlation between the readability and neatness of the work and a lack of errors. "

"We went through different organ systems and I explained to him different parts of each one with details. I also asked him several questions to make sure he understood them. He is doing good but he has to study more. "
